Rush2112 3 Posted September 23, 2012 Well here I am watching food shows when I start the puree'd stage tomorrow and my mouth is watering and I wonder if I can ever enjoy the same foods I ate before surgery. Burgers, Chinese food, Mexican, BBQ, pizza and fried foods...fries, potato chips, ....I know I need to eat the Protein first and I will limit the fried foods but if I want some chips or fries is that a HUGE issue? Just wondering what other folks are doing out there. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted September 23, 2012 I am post and used to enjoy all the same stuff but don't eat any of it. I have eaten a piece of baked lays chips and it was okay. You will be fine, and I'm sure if you ate the whole chip you'd be just fine. All the luck tomorrow & stop watching the food network lol makes me head hungry too Surgery 7/25/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted September 23, 2012 seven months out and I have found its more of a head game in the beginning then anything. When I try a "bite" of something I used to eat that is not so good for me it either doesnt taste good or it hurts my pouch. You will test the waters to be sure, but be careful and use the tool as it is meant to be used. Eating our favorites is what got us in to trouble to begin with.

Rush2112 3 Posted September 24, 2012 Trying too, I'm two weeks post op and start purée tomorrow...I had a really good day today and hope it continues. Bad thing is I spent an hour reading threads on here of people who regret having surgery even month po. Not really encouraging. And also how people have leveled out a few weeks po.
